RESPONSE: Hello, You can most probably thank a Mr. MATHEWS who is personally responsible for inventorying literally hundreds, if not thousands, of small and all sized graveyards in Bell Co., KY. As for the birth and death records I have given you, you could possibly learn more by ordering those records from the State of KY, Vital Statistics. You might also go to the Bell Co. Message Board. On the menu where you post a query, there is a search line at the top left-hand side. If you enter your surname, CARMACK, and then click on Bell Co. to the right of the search line, it will give you any queries where the CARMACK surname has come up. Sometimes that is a good way to seek out other researchers. I know there is a "Pineville Sun" newspaper that published early on. You may wish to check into the possibility of an inter-library transfer of some of their microfilm. I have not done that so don't know the particulars of ordering. Also, the State of KY has a 3-set CD that covers births, deaths and some later marriages from the 1970's forward. They are very easy to search by the maiden name of the mother, by the surname, by 10 year periods of time. These could be helpful to you in locating more recent people past the time of the 1930 Fed. Census. In attempting to mesh together some births from the marriages I gave to you earlier on, these "may" be children born to some of these CARMACKs: DANIELS, Richard L. b. to Sarah CARMACK, maiden name; on 7-3-1940 in Bell Co. DANIELS, Effie B. b. to Sarah CARMACK; maiden name; on 6-28-1938 in Bell Co. CARMACK, Earl R. b. 6-24-1949 in Bell Co. to maiden name, China CARMACK CARMACK, Hazel R. b. 8-29-1951 in Bell Co. to maiden name, China CARMACK This one I don't really know about unless the Bertha SOUTHERLAND was really a Bertha DOCKERY, maiden name who had had an earlier marriage to a SOUTHERLAND: CARMACK, Francis b. 2-11-19327 in Bell Co. to Bertha DOCKERY CARMACK, Clifford M. b. 10-13-1940 in Bell Co. to Bertha DOCKERY CARMACK, Fred O. b. 8-18-1945 in Bell Co. to Bertha DOCKERY CARMACK, Gillis C. b. 1-23-1943 in Bell Co. to Bertha DOCKERY Joyce Taylor Collins La Palma, CA In a message dated 3/23/2005 6:11:43 AM Pacific Standard Time, Jnshowl@aol.com writes: > Thank you Joyce for your reply.

My old links to the Bell Co Cemetery Lists are no longer active.. I did see that Bell County Historical Society is selling the CD with the information on the Cemeteries on them. http://www.geocities.com/bellhistorical/ If anyone else knows of an active link to the records on line please let us know.
